well crafty wonderland went well! thanks again to susan for letting me share her table! i didn’t have tons of stuff, but i wouldn’t have been able to display more than i had anyway, so it worked out well. between the scrap bazaar and yesterday, i am almost sold out of hats! i have one new one that i haven’t posted in my store yet, and then one monster hat and one snake hat.
anyway, i finished the spiraling stripes hat kits super last minute saturday night, and then i sold two of them, plus a pattern set by itself, so it was worth all that rushing stress! the two i sold were my two absolute favorite yarns, and they never got a chance to be posted on my website, so i want to show them off here:
that left one is a wool/alpaca blend, dyed 5 rotating colors, with the red and green on one side and the blue, purple, and orange on the other, so that the stripes will go something like: red, blue, green, purple, red, orange, green, blue, red, purple, green, orange… not necessarily like that, but maybe. i really hope the hat maker shows me her finished hat!!
the right one is lambswool dyed 6 shades of green and blue. that one has the dark green on one side, and the 5 different lighter shades rotating on the other side, so the striping with go dark green, shade 1, dark green, shade 2, dark green, shade 3, etc…. this one sold really early on in the crazy crowd, my first thing to sell! i hope she shows me her hat too!
it’s hard dying yarn to sell, i want to keep it all for myself!!
oh, if anyone wants anything by xmas – if i get your order within the next day or two i should be able to get it to you by the 25th!
ok now i have to go shopping at mystery stores for no one in particular who reads this blog (wink wink, nudge nudge)…
